Here are my pics, excuse the dirty car keeps raining here.

 

Alex she sure does, you know a lead foot =

My wife drives like that in my car and her RX too, one day she is going to get pulled over.

 

Yes, but unfortunately like doesn't work like that. She's never even been pulled over for anything and she's a heavy accelerator on the merges, drives 80 consistently without ever looking at the speedo.

I've been pulled over three times my whole life. Once on the turnpike for doing 70 on 65. In the mountains doing 32 on 25. And on a local road doing 34 on a 30. All three times had to have been quota time. Two of the three the officer gave me a break and wrote me up for something else stupid so I don't get a speeding ticket.

It's all LUCK !!! LUCK !!!

I do see that you got the multiple SMD diode LED lights. I didn't look inside the unit to see if there was reflective material on the back, would imagine so, but if not, wonder if sticking foil in there would help bounce the beams around and create more lighting? ... hem...

 

Alex,

There is reflective material on the back, I hit the inside with a can of air duster and cleanend the lense before putting it back. Foil might work but i think it is plenty bright.

 

Oh yeah, it's bright enough for sure to serve the purpose of alerting the driver behind that you've stepped on your brakes. I'm saying it's not as bright as an incand. bulb.

Next best would be "KNIGHT RIDER" style, and have a whole bar across that scans left and right.

 

mines just burned out so i just ordered the one that alexus posted up a link to, also ordered some exhaust tips and will be replacing my license plate bulbs with led blue/white ones this week when i'm not lazy also...

 

Want to thank you for the pictures. The owner manual sucks

 

Just a quick one guys. I bought some LED Replacements but they are not working. Could this be due to one of the rear tail brake lights being out too?

kudos on the karate chop too lol

 

Try turning the bulb around. LED's are polarity sensitive. I doubt the other bulbs have anything to do with it.

 

I just followed the following directions and they work perfectly.

PUSH BRAKE LIGHT HOUSING DOWN - SLIDE TO THE LEFT (towards passenger side) about 1/4" to 1/2" then LIFT UP slightly and pull TOWARDS you then the rest is straightforward. REMEMBER to LIFT up just a little as the clips break easily.

 

You have any idea where to get those from apart from japan?
I have seen a few for sale in Japan, but seem waay to expensive.

I was thinking of rigging something like this up in the high mount stop light to match my led tails. 2 of these side by side.

You good! thanks a lot!

 

Just did mine. Instructions were spot on. Took me longer to open the package that to do the job. Thanks guys

 

Man, if you're ever in Dallas, stop by and I'll you a beer. Or a steak. Or a hooker if you're into that sort of thing. I've got a mobile tint guy here tinting the windows on my white IS250 with tan interior. He cuts around the break light housing and it looked like CRAP. With the beige housing, black tint and white car. He explains that the entire package tray has to come out and you can't do that with the trunk hinges in place, yada-yada. 20 seconds searching here, and I find this. I went out in the garage and in literally 5 seconds had it sitting on the roof.

<sigh> Now he gets to peel tint and redo it. Or am I an ******* for that? He seems to think so. I'm sorry, but this is the first nice car I've owned and I'll be damned..

 

Tried to get the housing out, couldn't do it, tried for about 20 minutes and nothing. Found this thread, tried sliding to the left etc.. Nothing worked. Was kinda pissed so I just karate chopped it twice and it came off!!! Was so excited.. Thanks for the help guys!
